This is a huge step forward for the organization and an important win for youth who are passionate about water issues and climate action globally.
The Children and Youth Pavilion is a space at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) where young people come together to share ideas, lead discussions, and push for climate solutions. By joining the Pavilion’s Steering Committee, WYN will play a key role in organizing the events and conversations that happen during COP29. The Pavilion, first launched at COP27, has quickly become a center for youth-driven climate action, and you can learn more about it at www.childrenandyouthpavilion.info.

What This Means
Water is a critical element in the fight against climate change. Whether it’s floods, droughts, or access to clean water, these issues are only getting more urgent as global temperatures rise. By being on the Steering Committee, the Water Youth Network will make sure that water challenges are front and center in climate discussions at COP29.
This opportunity allows WYN to shape discussions and events at the Pavilion, ensuring that the role of water in climate resilience is not overlooked. The Network will help organize panels, workshops, and collaborations with other youth organizations, highlighting the importance of water in climate adaptation strategies.
What’s Next for WYN at COP29?
As part of the Steering Committee, WYN will work to ensure diverse youth voices are heard, especially those from regions hardest hit by water-related challenges. The Network plans to:
- Elevate water issues: WYN will make sure water management and its connection to climate change are a key focus at COP29.
- Empower youth voices: They’ll create spaces where young people from all backgrounds, particularly those in water-stressed regions, can speak directly to global leaders and offer their ideas for change.
- Build global partnerships: WYN will team up with other youth organizations to push for meaningful action on climate and water issues.

WYN’s selection to the Steering Committee is a big recognition of its long-standing work in global water governance. They’ve been involved in major events like the World Water Forum, and now, COP29 offers a huge platform for the Network to bring their mission to a global audience.
WYN’s participation ensures that young professionals and students from all over the world can have a say in how water management is approached in the fight against climate change. With their expertise, they’ll advocate for stronger policies that reflect the needs of communities most impacted by water shortages, floods, and other climate-related disasters.
